By now, I'm guessing most of you realize how I do my group breaks. I start off posting one pack every few hours (scattering other posts, especially trade posts throughout). Then, once I get a little bit ahead, I start posting more than one pack per post to keep the show moving along. Well, the good news is that I am finally a bit ahead - so you get multiple packs in this post (and hopefully most future posts).
2000 Fleer Showcase:
Packs 8, 9, & 10:
1. Alex Rodriguez - Mariners
9. Adrian Beltre - Dodgers
43. J.D. Drew - Cardinals
50. Jason Kendall - Pirates
52. Jermaine Dye - Royals
58. Greg Maddux - Braves
I know there are a lot of Maddux and Braves collectors out there so this scan is for you.
77. Steve Finley - Diamondbacks
86. Juan Gonzalez - Tigers
90. Kevin Brown - Dodgers
91. Ben Grieve - Athletics
97. Kerry Wood - Cubs
98. Geoff Jenkins - Brewers
Finally, each of three packs happened to contain an insert:
9 of 10 NS. Noise of Summer: Derek Jeter - Yankees
The Noise of Summer inserts are seeded 1:10 packs. This is our second Noise of Summer insert card from the box, so I don't expect we'll end up with any more.
4 of 10 FA. Final Answer: Sammy Sosa - Cubs
The Final Answer inserts are also seeded 1:10 packs. The back of the card features 4 questions (playing into the Millionaire theme without infringing on copyrights I suppose). The questions don't have multiple choices - let's see how you do:
1. Who was the first player to hit 60-or-more home runs in consecutive seasons?
2. What pitcher gave up Sammy Sosa's first Major League home run?
3. What players have had back-to-back 140 RBI seasons since 1930?
4. What is Sammy's most surprising dream?
**Answers at the end of the post**
I guess the first three questions are good, but the last one is a little creepy. I think if you know Sosa's dreams you shouldn't be buying baseball cards, you should be locked up.
10 of 10 LS. License to Skill: Alex Rodriguez - Mariners
Woah Fleer, you really went crazy on this set didn't you? Somehow, in the Sarah Palin map target aftermath, I doubt this particular insert set would get the green light today. Even so, it's kind of fun to pull some die-cut cards, even if these are somewhat lame die-cuts (just the top of the card is rounded). The License to Skill cards are seeded 1:20 packs meaning this is a box hit of sorts for the Mariners!
Answers to the Sosa questions (as stated on the card):
1. Sammy Sosa (this one was easy)
2. Roger Clemens
3. Mark McGwire, Andres Galarraga, and Sammy Sosa
4. To win the Powerball Lotto and buy the Cubs
